Summary
There is a ghost in the Cloud Recesses.
It is a rumor, repeated only in hushed whispers beyond the four walls of the Jingshi, but Lan Wangji knows what they say. There is a ghost in the Cloud Recesses, clad in mourning white, that can only be glimpsed at night, beneath the moonlit sky. Quiet, he walks the paths of the Cloud Recesses. He does not speak, and he is gone by morning.
There might be some among the younger disciples who believe the tales, but Lan Wangji knows the truth. There are echoes—of those long gone, those who passed years upon years before Lan Wangji ever drew breath—but there are no ghosts in the Cloud Recesses.
Or: three nights in the Jingshi.

Summary
Whatever Draco does in the past, it seems he is unable to change much for the better. But he hasn't given up trying, and in the year where Voldemort rises again, he will stop at nothing to ensure he prevents it, leading him down a dangerous path. Standing in his way is not only the force of evil and the force of destiny, but the force of his own indecision, as he finds he can no longer share his secrets with his godfather, nor can he protect his beloved cousin Luna- and nor can he keep his feelings for Harry a secret any longer either. For better or for worse, the reckoning has come.

Summary
Marriage, Lan Wangji knows, is not about love.
He’d known this, he’d always known this; Uncle had always been very clear on that. Marriage is about duty. Marriage is about allying Gusu Lan with another sect. It is Lan Wangji’s job in this to ensure profitable trade for the disciples of the Cloud Recesses. It might even, one day, require him to move away from his home and into that of his spouse. His father had married for love and look where that had gotten him; Lan Wangji would never succumb to the same fate. So no, marriage was not about liking his spouse and being liked in return.

Summary
Sleep is elusive in the nights that follow. He lies with his head on her pillow. She rests her head in the crook of his shoulder, holding onto him as if her life depends on it. It is perhaps not new, in that he has shared her bed, he has had the privilege of holding her while she sleeps. She stops shivering, eventually. She calms, eventually. But she doesn’t let him go.
They don’t speak. They have no need to.
She is his only queen.

Summary
Lily remembered her sister, how there had been a time she was curious and delighted about magic, before it slowly sank in that she could look and not touch.
The last thing Petunia had said to Lily before she died was a chilly goodbye, ending a holiday dinner where they'd had a shrieking row in the entryway. Petunia had said 'freak' and Lily had hissed 'better than this, better than this being my whole fucking world, Tune, do you even see yourself, are you happy--'
And now here was Dudley Vernon Dursley fussing himself to sleep as Lily walked the halls of the Godric's Hollow house. His tiny soft hands with their tiny soft fingernails curled under her chin, the same way Harry's always had.
She passed James, who was gently bouncing his way up the hall the opposite way. "I think he's asleep," James mouthed over Harry's tousled head. His hair was the same mess, his head bent down as he peered at his sleeping son.
Lily stopped where she stood, her nephew heavy on her chest, her husband smiling, her sister buried. "James," she said. "How are we going to do this?"
